things I do not like

3. Meeting that are supposed to start at 1, and which you only remember about at 12:30, so it is too late to go get lunch before the meeting, but then they are postponed to 1:15, then 1:30, then 1:45, then when they finally start at five of 2 they go on for TWO AND A HALF HOURS suring the entirety of which your STOMACH is growling furiously.

Once I had the county auditor show up at THE EXACT MOMENT I was about to take my lunch break. I'd been up since 4am, it was about 11 by that time, and then he proceeded to audit the ENTIRE STORE, and who had to stay with him the whole time? Yeah, that's right. ME. All three hours of it.

I seriously almost passed out, and contemplated hitting him with a frying pan display as we audited the housewares department.

I was wondering, since I couldn't tell from your post: how do you feel about tights? Do you like the way they make you feel? What about overwriters, do you love them? Want to marry them? What about meetings that get pushed back? Are they your favorite kinds of meetings?

When I wore skirt suits in the long ago past, I preferred tights over pantyhose. Neither bothered me (and they didn't sag.) I must be weird. Of course, I don't own any now and haven't worn them in over ten years, seeing as I don't work in a place where they'd be useful or part of the dress code.

It's shockingly decadent of you to cajole over-writers in such an incredibly bombastic, flippant way. You harangue us, yet we are proliferating staggeringly delicately-crafted prose which we know will be overwhelmingly and sincerely appreciated by refreshingly thoughtful publishers, once we approach them with coaxingly embellished query letters.

tights are great, especially when you have hairy legs, and the hair pokes through the weave.. just my opinion. As for ass-crack itch: stockings and a garter belt solves that problem, and looks so much sexier!
